The 2021 Indian Premier League has been suspended amid concerns about coronavirus levels in the country.

The number of new coronavirus infections in India exceeded 20 million on Tuesday. 357,229 new cases have been reported in the past 24 hours, adding further strain to an already overwhelmed health system.

Three Australian cricketers – Adam Zampa, Kane Richardson and Andrew Tye – have already dropped out of their IPL season to go home while Indian weirdo Ravichandran Ashwin has taken a break to spend time with his family.

The regular season should end on May 23rd. Qualifiers and eliminators should follow before the final on May 30th.
